Therefore, candidates will be required to attempt all 5 questions in Section B, without options for selection, in JEE (Main) 2025 for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech), Paper 2 A (B Arch) and Paper 2 B (B Planning). **Information Bulletin:** The detailed Pattern of Examination for JEE (Main) – 2025 will be provided in the Information Bulletin. **Further Clarification:** Candidates are advised to keep visiting the official websites of NTA (www.nta.ac.in and https://jeemain.nta.nic.in) for the latest updates. **Contact Information:** Helpline Number: +91-11-40759000 e-mail: [email protected] **Signature:** Director (Exams) National Testing Agency
